title: The comparison of usefulness of computer tomography and angiography in diagnostics of intracranial vascular anomalies.
abstract: We evaluated 84 patients with SAH to compare the clinical usefulness of CT and cerebral angiography in diagnostics of intracranial vascular anomalies as a source of SAH. Angiography was more effective in detection of aneurysms (in 67.9% cases), also multiple aneurysms. Both methods showed angiomas equally well (in 100%). The agreement in the aneurysms localisation was only 17%. The effectiveness of subtentorial aneurysms detection was poor in both methods (especially in CT). The most common localisation of aneurysms were: the middle cerebral artery, communicating anterior artery, internal carotid artery, anterior artery.
